Just watched Tropic Thunder and, although it might not qualify as a "cameo," Tom Cruise's role in the movie was classic. He was easily the second funniest character in the film.

That got me thinking, what are some of the great cameos in movies. Here are a few I say are noteworthy:

Lance Armstrong in Dodgeball: You know, once I was thinking of quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit. So what are you dying of that's keeping you from the finals?

Val Kilmer in Wayne's World 2

Billy Idol in The Wedding Singer

Brett Farve in There's Something About Mary

Jack Black/Ben Stiller/Tim Robbins in Anchorman

I know it's gimmicky (especially if overdone), but i really enjoy it when the stars of movies are embedded as small, different characters in re-makes of the movie.

Doogie in Harold and Kumar was without a doubt the best one. Bob Saget in Half Baked is a somewhat close-ish second.

That wasn't a cameo at the time. Samuel L. wasn't even a name back then.

But, you brought up a great movie with a great cross-over cameo in the appearance of Randolph and Mortimer Duke from Trading Places.

But that's not really considered a cameo because Sam was an unknown at that time. That was a "bit part".

I get the spoof and have seen the movie, but what comedy team or show put the spoof together?

Oh, Iono. Random youtube knucklehead I guess. The same poster did two other fake promos that he mentioned in the Glen, Gary, Glen, Ross spoof. They're in his video list, but they're not as funny.

Here's another one of his. Check this out. Perfect editing.
